Monitoring and diagnostic system for high power turbine units

The paper presents new design of monitoring and diagnostic system for steam turbine unit. The system is designed as modular and can be relatively easy extended with new hardware and software modules. The system has distributed architecture based on computer network information simultaneously. The system is equipped with high end expert system based on artificial intelligent algorithms. Performance has been tested on 200 MW turbine unit and it operates successfully at Kozienice power plant for longer then 5 years.
